Karachi Kings’ captain Babar Azam has heaped praise on opener Sharjeel Khan and pacer Mohammad Amir, ahead of the Pakistan Super League season seven.

Babar believes
that Sharjeel and Amir have the ability to single-handedly win matches for the
franchise.

“It is
good to open with Sharjeel Khan. He is a game-changer,” said Azam. “However, I
think for international cricket, he still needs to improve their fitness.”

“Amir
has done very well for Karachi Kings in PSL. He is a match-winner for Karachi
Kings,” he added.

Babar also
opened up about Karachi’s rivalry with Lahore Qalandars while also speaking
about facing Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf.  

“Fans
are interested in this and we also enjoy the Qalandars-Kings match. It will be
a good encounter this time,” he said.

“Shaheen
Afridi has proved himself, and playing against him is tough for everyone.
Meanwhile, Harris Rauf is also improving over time. We also have to play
carefully against Haris. So, there will be good competition,” he added.

Karachi will
face defending champions Multan Sultans on the opening day of PSL7 on January
27.
